Molecular recognition of cationic phenothiazinium and phenoxazinium dyes with -extended 2-deoxyadenosine nucleotides

Karina Mondragón-Vásquez and Hugo Morales-Rojas

N6-(N-Arylcarbamoyl)-2-deoxyadenosine-H-phosphonates displayed molecular recognition towards cationic phenothiazinium and phenoxazinium dyes in aqueous solutions; studies have shown that binding is driven mainly by aromatic interactions and that size and shape-complementarity of the aromatic rings in host and guest provides selectivity.
